Electrical connector with enhanced jack interface

An electrical connector comprising:

• a housing holding a plurality of contacts arranged in differential pairs, said housing having a mating end and a wire receiving end, said mating end configured to receive a mating connector;
• an organizer configured for attachment to said wire receiving end of said housing, said organizer defining a central opening that receives a plurality of signal wires carrying differential signals, said organizer including a plurality of wire guides arranged about and extending radially outward from said central opening, said wire guides receiving said signal wires;
• and
• at least one shielding member located within said housing, said at least one shielding member isolating each differential contact pair from an adjacent differential contact pair, and, and wherein said at least one shielding member is positioned within said housing such that said at least one shielding member electrically engages a corresponding shielding member in the mating connector.

An electrical connector comprising:

• a housing having a mating end, a wire receiving end, and a longitudinal axis therethrough;
• said housing holding a plurality of contacts grouped in differential pairs and arranged about said axis;
• and
• at least one shielding member located within said housing, said at least one shielding member isolating each differential contact pair from an adjacent differential contact pair, wherein said housing further comprises a plurality of webs having shield cavities separating each differential contact pair from an adjacent differential signal pair, and wherein said at least one shielding member is disposed within said shield cavities.

An electrical connector comprising:

• a housing holding a plurality of contacts, symmetrically arranged in differential pairs about a longitudinal axis, said housing having a mating end and a wire receiving end;
• an organizer configured for attachment to said wire receiving end of said housing, said organizer defining a central opening that receives a plurality of signal wires carrying differential signals, said organizer including a plurality of wire guides arranged about and extending radially outward from said central opening, said wire guides receiving said signal wires, said wire guides directing said signal wires radially outward from said central opening organized in differential pairs;
• and
• wherein said organizer arranges the wires in a pattern to enhance transmission performance in the differential pairs.
